Various LLM Smells
- n42 5mo agoNo ___, no ____. Just _____ or using "honest" to describe an approach.
- GrinningFool 5mo agoJab, jab, thrust is how I think about that pattern. Or tap tap whack, if you prefer. And it shows up for for positives too: "Smooth. Effortless. A perfect fit for your needs". In any style of informal or persuasive writing this shows up , as if it has to drive the point in. I kind of wish we'd stop talking openly about what the tells are. It's nice to be able to determine with fair accuracy - but it couldn't last forever.
- Barbing 5mo ago> I kind of wish we'd stop talking openly about what the tells are. Least this way it’s out in the open perhaps, since enough users have training enabled labs will naturally learn what annoys us. Had the same thought though
- left-struck 5mo agoYeah, I think in this case, pointing out what’s obviously llm is genuinely useful since it will lead to more diversity in websites and a better tool. I mean I don’t usually care if a website is LLM generated as long as the copy is human written
- cootsnuck 5mo agoI call it "I'm not like other girls" writing.
- ares623 5mo agoImagine a world where everyone talks like an Apple product page.
- rmellow 5mo agoIronically, your entire post can be read as such, almost perfectly! Labeling each sentence (J)ab and (T)hrust, and using colon ":" to indicate arguments, one gets: ``` J: J. J. T. J: "J. J. T". T: T. T: J. J. T. ```
- knollimar 5mo agoHonest, straight, genuine, actual, real are all words that paper over a weak claim to me. Im thinking about a hook that injects a subagent fact checking in an "are you sure" style here because it's so bad. Also the false not X it's Y is used in a similar way for faux distinctions like a sov cit claiming "it's not driving, it's traveling in a car"
- overgard 5mo agoDon't forget the uncomfortable truth
- userbinator 5mo agoI think that's been a tired marketing trope for many years before LLMs, and they just picked it up from the training data.
- danielodievich 5mo agoAll of those are included in the bulk of the documents passing my work input these days. It is infuriating. Out of principle I maintain 100% me in all my writing but I don't know if it matters. Well maybe it does... an interviewee recently complimented me on the "nicest and most human resume" they saw recently. That felt good
- exe34 5mo agoDo you send your resume to people before you interview them?
- danielodievich 5mo agoI meant interviewer. Sorry!
- dionian 5mo agoKPI cards, purple gradients
- KronisLV 5mo ago> The "JetBrains Mono" font Thought for sure we'd get a critique of Inter overuse. JetBrains Mono is a lovely font, though.
- fortyseven 5mo agoIt's my daily driver, so I kind of twitched a bit saying that list in here. I never noticed because I was using it anyway, I guess.
- royal__ 5mo agoYeah this one kinda hurts.
- nottorp 5mo agoOn a tangent, since it's called JetBrains Mono I guess it's JetBrains' IP? Is it even legal to use it in $RANDOM_WEBSITE?
- Udo_Schmitz 5mo agohttps://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/blob/master/OFL.txt https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/blob/master/OFL.t...
- ninjalanternshk 5mo agoI fear for falling into the trap some political parties get into — anything the other guy came up with is bad, by definition. If JetBrains Mono suits your work you should use it, not avoid it specifically because AI often uses it.
- dvt 5mo agoIt's kind of interesting how genuinely hard it is to get models to deviate from basically all of these tropes. You can straight up tell it "I hate that card design, do something different, get creative!" and it'll do something either (a) ugly as sin (clearly just essentially a random walk through parameters) or (b) some same-y derivation of that card. In coding, I've noticed a few tropes as well: everything is a "contract" or an "artifact" (clearly trained on like three decades of Java lol), everything is constantly "backwards-compatible" or "versioned" (even if working on a brand new greenfield project), and a few others.
- jkdufair 5mo agoIf claude says "load bearing" once more, I think I'll vomit.
- dieselgate 5mo agoThat's a funny one. I don't use LLMs at all but "load bearing" is such a common/over-used internet joke for DIY building projects and stuff like "load bearing caulk". Have never heard it in a software sense really so am slightly perplexed
- thewebguyd 5mo ago> Have never heard it in a software sense really so am slightly perplexed It's been used in an ops context for a long time, pre LLM even. Same with "blast radius" has been a cybersecurity term for as long as I can remember.
- dvt 5mo agoHah, ChatGPT constantly says "that's real" or "less about X, more about Y."
- topaz0 5mo agoYou could stop using it first I suppose
- throwatdem12311 5mo ago
- mil22 5mo agoThose cards, so familiar! Exactly what Opus produced for me. Did Anthropic and/or OpenAI deliberately train their models to produce websites with a specific design language, or did these stylistic preferences emerge naturally as some kind of LLM-selected optimum?
- jochem9 5mo agoAI has no taste, so I suspect the labs just gave it a bunch of decent looking boilerplate as preferred style. When you bring your own ideas you can get AI to dev pretty nice looking non-generic stuff.
- input_sh 5mo agoIt's not the base model, it's the system prompt in dev tools. To give an example I'm personally frequently annoyed by, Google's Antigravity will consistently use the word "anthropomorphic" while "thinking" and the end result will consistently have obnoxiously large border radius (kind of like Android's design language). Codex on the other hand likes to make websites with blue elements on a black background and likes to use emojis for icons for some reason, which is a terrible idea accessibility-wise.
- Planktonne 5mo ago> The LLM generated writing obviously felt significantly better than my own writing. A general pattern for LLMs is that they look really good at things you are bad at. What that means is that if you find yourself thinking of its output as significantly better than yours in a particular domain, there's a high chance that you are not equipped to judge that quality effectively.
- bell-cot 5mo agoMnemonic: geLL-Mann amnesia effect
- dvt 5mo agoHonestly, I can't fathom thinking that LLM writing is even remotely passable. People that think this should honestly read more. One book a month is hardly an aspirational goal. You don't even have to read Melville or Hemingway or Chaucer or Shakespeare, just pick up any popular NYT best seller, and it'll be significantly better than anything an LLM can generate.
- xienze 5mo ago> I can't fathom thinking that LLM writing is even remotely passable. People that think this should honestly read more. This makes me think you're only exposing yourself to high quality writing online and from an intelligent circle of friends and coworkers. The average person's reading and writing abilities are _atrocious_ and only getting worse. We're almost at the point where kids are communicating through abbreviations and emojis exclusively. LLM prose is significantly better than what the average person can produce.
- sublinear 5mo agoAre we also saying it's acceptable to feed people junk because it's better than what they would cook? At some point you're just making bad excuses for false scarcity.
- 5mo ago
- docheinestages 5mo agoYou are right to push back.
- manoDev 5mo agoWelcome to the future of fast-food software. Taste of deep frying and preservatives.
- poszlem 5mo agoWhat I find amazing is how HARD it is to make the LLM produce a piece of text that does not sound like slop. I have had dozens of sessions where I tried to make it write like a human would, and yet it still uses those tired writing phrases. I don't understand why neither openai, nor anthropic are able to do anything to make it better, and in some cases it feels like we are actually going backwards.
- Noumenon72 5mo agoAlan Turing poisoned the context in ways we can't comprehend and all LLMs are bound by his dead hand.
- singingtoday 5mo agowat
- Noumenon72 5mo agoJoking that Turing superhumanly foresaw AGI and created the Turing Test as a bar we must never cross, subtly introducing changes to the world's training data to ensure that models could never impersonate humans.
- spdustin 5mo ago- “(The) honest caveat:” (or “genuine caveat:”, both with the colon) - “(The) honest answer:” (again, with colon) - “The thing to internalize:” - “The smoking gun:” (really, sentences that start with “The <tag suggesting the next clause is the key point>:” are a strong tell, but those four are the most prolific) - “load bearing” (when not talking about architecture) - “blast radius” (when not talking about actual explosives, but rather the effect of an event/action) - “smoke test” (esp. when “sanity check” is more apropos) - Lists of three clauses/adjectives where the third is really just a combination of the first two - Referring to the “shape” of things figuratively - Social media posts that end with “Curious if anyone…” - Stories or anecdotes using. “Oh. Oh.” (where the second “oh” is italicized) Edit: Yes, some of those last ones are terms that we often use as devs...but I would argue about the actual frequency of their use. Plus, these tells live on in prose generated by the latest models.
- srik 5mo agoThese LLM idioms are constantly being consumed every day and are bound to make it into the next, if not current, generation's vernacular. It's going to be unbearable.
- j_bum 5mo agoThe one I hate the most is, “And this is what most people miss:”
- thewebguyd 5mo ago> I would argue about the actual frequency of their use Assuming you mean load bearing & blast radius, I'd see those used and use them myself very frequently pre LLM, mostly in online discussions though so its telling where they got their training data. Load bearing itself is/was a pretty normal phrase in the ops world in daily discussion. Smoke test though, I can't say I've ever see irl usage.
- Barbing 5mo agoHeard smoke test IRL & was confused to see it used indeed in place of “sanity check”. Weird.
- rimeice 5mo agoScrolling down a LinkedIn feed is hilarious at the moment. My favourite one today from today: “The tax isn't the problem. The mindset is.”
- backwardsponcho 5mo agoThe LinkedIn Kool-Aid predates the advent of LLMs though.
- LadyCailin 5mo agoI often think it’s the opposite in fact, that the LLM smells come from LinkedIn text.
- singingtoday 5mo agoThis tracks. Linked in, stack overflow, Reddit, even hn. All in the training data, I assume.
- torginus 5mo ago[dead]
- 1970-01-01 5mo agoThe LLM doesn't smell like authentic writing but it does a great job for fast and cheap words. We've gained something similar to fast food. Words made very cheap, very fast, easily digestible, but they have no emotion. In short stints it does have a place in the world.
- thewebguyd 5mo ago> it does a great job for fast and cheap words Like corporate manager-type emails, of which I get AI generated ones frequently from company ownership. They think LLMs are the best thing since sliced bread. It's taken corpo-speak to an entirely new level. On the plus side I no longer have to read them, and can just have AI reply on my behalf with more fast food.
- singingtoday 5mo agoWhich is fine too me; I never read those emails anyways...
- NicuCalcea 5mo agoTo me, it's more like prison loaf [0] than fast food. It contains the basic information it was intended to convey, but in a very bland, irritating shape. At least fast food gives you a dopamine hit that I certainly don't get from AI writing. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutraloaf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutraloaf

- tptacek 5mo agoThe LLM writing sameness is bad. Use LLMs to help your writing! But don't include a word they generate, even just a vocabulary adjustment, in your own output. Have them critique structure and flow, spot overused words and passive constructions and dumb picks for topic sentences. It's great for that, and those are all objective improvements in your writing that won't mess up your style. The LLM sameness in web design is good. Most sites shouldn't try to be idiosyncratic. The best design for a site with real utility is legibility, and LLMs are better at that than the median developer. Always laying out the same buttons? Always using the same type scales? Good! If it looks good to you, you weren't going to do better on your own, and you were very likely to do worse.
- devin 5mo agoAbsolutely agree. I recently wrote a speech and can't imagine how terribly hack it would have been had I taken the LLM's words as my own. I have second hand embarrassment just thinking about someone writing something important for or about a loved one and using the saccharine crap that was suggested at various points to me. Absolute drivel and a giant flag that you don't actually care enough about the audience to bring your own words.
- sofixa 5mo ago> The LLM sameness in web design is good. Most sites shouldn't try to be idiosyncratic. The best design for a site with real utility is legibility, and LLMs are better at that than the median developer. Always laying out the same buttons? Always using the same type scales? Good! If it looks good to you, you weren't going to do better on your own, and you were very likely to do worse. See, I disagree. Having seen plenty of Claude generated websites and slide decks, to me it just screams "no effort whatsoever". AI sloppypasta for content, if you will. If I can see within a few seconds that your website or slide was obviously AI generated, I will doubt its content, how much effort (if any) you've put into it, if it won't have hallucinations, and (especially for websites) if it's even real or a scam farm. I'm not saying every website has to be unique, but at least tell your prompt to use a font or colour scheme or something specific to you that will make it seem like you've put in some effort and make the result stand out from the slop.
- newer_vienna 5mo agoThank you, these are all things I've noticed too.
- speak_plainly 5mo agoI came here for the performative anti-AI intellectualism and was not disappointed.
- kylemaxwell 5mo agoAt this point, I want somebody's raw(ish) writing, with spelling errors and grammar mistakes and whatever, at least when it comes to most writing: blog posts, Slack messages, etc. LLMs are great for helping generate ideas, writing code, and maybe even cleaning up some writing, but doing the writing overall? Please don't. I want to hear what you have to say, not what the AI says, if it's something along those lines.
- OkayPhysicist 5mo agoThe way I phrase it: If you can't be assed to write it, there is zero reason for anyone to want to read it.
- newer_vienna 5mo agoI don't think I've met anyone who uses the word "genuinely" as much as Claude does.
- singingtoday 5mo agoI genuinely agree. Unironically.
- carefree-bob 5mo agoI get lots of "load bearing", "seam", and "payoff"
- TacticalCoder 5mo agoSo the year is 2026 and we cannot point a LLM at, say, this HN thread, and give it the instructions: "I don't want to look like a dumbass, so don't make these obvious mistakes / don't use these obvious tells"!?
- singingtoday 5mo agoYou caught me. I do basically this for Reddit threads to "un ai" some of my projects. Kind of works.
- agos 5mo agoThis for me is one of the greatest cognitive dissonance moments with LLMs: on one hand we have the proposition “LLMs will do everything, take your job, automate anything that can be automated, produce novel research, lead humankind to a golden age” and other hand we have “no way to make it not sound like a guy who just learned this two sentences”.
- Hfuffzehn 5mo agoThe interesting thing for me is that I do not feel like the writing of LLMs has improved very much lately stylistically. They have reached a "good" level some time ago but the newer models havn't brought such improvements that you would prefer them to an expert human writer. Will be interesting if that holds in other areas when chasing super intelligence.
- barrkel 5mo agoQuietly. Clean. Honest. Sharp take.
- stanleydupreez 5mo ago[flagged]
- viccis 5mo agoOne Python one I hate is that it adds crazy amounts of newlines for no real readability gains. Instead of this: def add_three_ints(x: int, y: int, z: int) -> int: return x + y + z it will write: def add_three_ints( x: int, y: int, x: int, ): return x + y + z While it's always preferable to do this when you get either long or complex function signatures, Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 do this everywhere. When you combine it with their penchant for writing helper functions for everything, you get a ton of vertical padding that messes up the readability imo because Python really relies on your eye seeing indents for scope.
- tomjakubowski 5mo agoThe second way produces more billable output tokens. Worse, when you feed that code back into the LLM service, the extra whitespace counts as input tokens.
- torginus 5mo agoan LF is 1 character, just like a space. Its just looks bigger to our puny human brains.
- tomjakubowski 5mo agoIt isn't a 1:1 substitution. Indenting each parameter like in the second example adds additional space characters: in this case, 4 extra spaces per parameter.
- fragmede 5mo agoThat's for diffing gains later. If you have to add arguments, when they're on one line like that, the diff is cleaner, so the reviewer has an easier time kf understanding what's going on. That is, if you still have a human reviewing code, that is.
- duckmysick 5mo agoA code formatter like Black can handle that. It's there to enforce a single code style no matter what the contributors use, whether they are human or AI.
- ray__ 5mo agoI wonder if the tendency to write short punchy sentences stems from deliberate RL efforts to avoid repetitive, consistent writing? I seem to remember that a critique of early LLMs was that they would produce sentences whose construction was too homogeneous. Would be interesting to know the answer to this.
- metadat 5mo agoDon't forget about Contrastive Negation: > Contrastive negation is a rhetorical structure that denies a specific idea in the first half of a sentence and asserts an alternative in the second half. > It typically follows an "It’s not X, it’s Y" or "not just X, but Y" formula. Wikipedia also has a great resource which covers many of the common LLM patterns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing
- furyofantares 5mo agoThat's in the post
- deleted 5mo ago[deleted]
- amelius 5mo agoHow long until LLMs are taught to avoid the patterns in that wiki page?
- ninjalanternshk 5mo agoAs someone who’s writing gets flagged as AI a lot, I appreciate the opening disclaimer section. And I especially appreciate the idea that these patterns aren’t the problem. Don’t just fix the patterns. The problem is they point to hastily or carelessly written content.
- ryanthedev 5mo agoI wrote a skill for this! But I’m sure a lot of you have as well lol. For those curious https://github.com/ryanthedev/oberskills/blob/main/commands/write.md https://github.com/ryanthedev/oberskills/blob/main/commands/...
- NicuCalcea 5mo agoI'm not sure to what extent an AI-generated skill will help the AI sound less like an AI.
- ryanthedev 5mo agoYou must be new to skill creation.
- scottjg 5mo agousually the LLM will match against the style in the context, even if the words ask it to do otherwise. since your skill sounds like an LLM wrote it, I would be surprised if it didn't make things worse. sorta like asking an LLM to get more creative with a visual design, that also never works.
- ryanthedev 5mo agoYour hand rolling skills? You know they created a thing called a skill creator…
- reliablereason 5mo ago"A is not B instead A is blah blah" instead of just saying "A" is a very common pattern have seen in Claude. It is strange to read as the topic A has often not been introduced and introducing it by saying what it is not makes very little sense to a new reader.
- thoughtpeddler 5mo agoDoes anyone else use the 'smells' as a sort of 'game' to ensure you properly go through a given LLM output (of any kind, be it document, presentation, code, etc) and 'make it your own' by eliminating them? I have a high bar for sharing content so I always do a rigorous pass to eliminate the em dashes, the contrastive negations, the 'quietly', and any other extraneous verbosity, and find that it helps me just really thoroughly polish it up.
- perching_aix 5mo agoThis reminds me to a video essay I saw a few months back. Guy explained that one of the metrics he evaluates game quality with, is how much the game manages to hide its game engine. I think it makes a lot of sense, it's essentially an inversion. Another related thing I recall is hearing game creators talk in terms of "gimmicks" and "scenarios". Anything that gives a structure, a framework to operate within, I'd say is always useful. This is much the same.
- sid0707 5mo ago[flagged]
- saaaaaam 5mo agoClaude is currently and suddenly obsessed with describing anything a little bit involved as being “inside baseball”. Last month it was quiet things being said out loud. When you use the tools all the time it’s fun to watch these things pop up a week or so later as normies copy and paste the slop out on LinkedIn and their newsletters.
- offaxis 5mo agoTo be honest, I often feel that AI writes better than I do. Since AI drafts drafts quickly, my work speed has increased by about 80% compared to before.
- SL61 5mo agoOne I've noticed, and it might just be Claude, is putting "The" in front of titles and headers. Its documentation will have one section after another with headers like "The Architecture", "The Caveats", "The Fixes".
- minikomi 5mo ago<somebody> just <did something>. And it changes everything. Is my favorite linkedin-ism. Wish LinkedIn had a regex block option.
- left-struck 5mo agoJust don’t read anything on there, don’t need regex for that.
- tomrod 5mo agoMoar! I want all the smells! /endredditmode I actually love folks documenting this. I'm all for LLMs producing rough drafts. But rough drafts are, as a rule, slop.
- rlorenzo 5mo agoFor designs, try https://impeccable.style/slop/ https://impeccable.style/slop/ to detect AI slop patterns and improve your designs. I found it helpful for critiquing designs, developing a DESIGN.md guide, and iterating on UIs.
- dropbox_miner 5mo agowhoa this is really good
- chatmasta 5mo agoIf you have Claude at work and are willing to point it to your emails, ask it to “read all my sent emails and create a skill to draft an email in my voice.” Even if you don’t want to use the skill, it’s fun to read the skill file it creates. It’s a bizarre feeling, asking Claude “who am I?” I haven’t tried it with Slack messages because I’m a little scared to read what it says, haha. But the same concept surely applies. There are a few people at work who are aggressively using Claude to write Slack messages. It’s easy for me to tell because one day they’re writing barely coherent English in multiple messages, and the next they’re sending perfectly coherent prose in a single message.

- overgard 5mo agoIt's funny, I've noticed my own writing has been getting a lot sloppier the past couple years just so that my writing doesn't get mistaken for AI. I actually used to use "--" pretty much all the time when I was young (granted I didn't go full em-dash, just the ascii version). It does make me kind of sad though, because writing in really short sentences (as one example) is actually a great way to make your writing easier to digest.

- Scryptonite 5mo agoI personally wonder if the writing (and coding) smells are being leveraged for watermarking/steganography. Like, if it's quirky but intentional; they're biding the time, leaving breadcrumbs so they can more effectively sift new internet content, or perhaps tracing/de-anonymizing. I can also see how it is not necessarily the case, since all models seem plagued by having unique cliche patterns. We all seem to experience the writing smells from the same models. I see 'cleanly' a lot less from GPT 5.5 vs <5.4
- stanleydupreez 5mo ago[flagged]
- akomtu 5mo agoThat's an interesting difference between true intelligence and its LLM imitation. If you throw a pile of mediocre data at LLM, its level will drop to mediocrity, for it can't discern true from false, good from bad. However if you throw the same data at an expert human, he will ignore it, and maybe pick a few bits of novel knowledge, so overall his level will raise a bit.
- eddysir 5mo ago[flagged]
- zkmon 5mo agoI think we should stop discriminating or the pursuit of detecting LLM-generated content. This is not helping to stop the slop, it causing a harm - making the genuine human-generated content being branded as something bad. It's like branding words like "segregation, black/white" as racist. It is hijacking the common a language patterns and make them unusable in common human expression.
- dropbox_miner 5mo agoI support this. There is a mass psychological effect emerging out of this AI-content-witch-hunt where people are manufacturing "flaws" to beat the AI-slop allegations. To list out a few personal examples: 1. Several students I knew at GaTech in 2024 taking the algorithm class (which is notoriously hard) started submitting assignments with sub-optimal/brute-force algorithms cuz the TAs kept reporting them for academic misconduct on optimal solutions. 2. I've started avoiding "em-dashes" in all my writing 3. Junior engineers leaving "typos" in their code reviews or submitting code-reviews with absolutely 0 comments (LLMs love to leave verbose comments) Gotta stop shaming people for using AI fr
- zkmon 5mo agoPeople are being forced to express in suboptimal ways, just to avoid being detected as slop. Some others are instructing AI to inject some typos or write grammatically incorrect sentences. The whole "hey I detected that you have used AI" is so childish. It is same as "hey I knew that you used a car to get here, instead of walking". Ok, I will drive my car at walking speed and maybe replace it wheels with legs.

- eapriv 5mo ago> Late last year I started writing a math blog and decided to use LLMs to polish/enhance my writing. Why would you do that in the first place? If you are just starting writing about math, I assume your goal would be to get better at it, and using LLMs is not how you get better at writing.
- Sammi 5mo agoThis is a big fat "it depends". It depends on how you use the llm. You can use the llm to write your homework or you can use the llm as a teaching assistant to help you learn. Different people choose different paths.

- rldjbpin 5mo agothese stochastic models just replicate what they see in training data. the reddit speak, american english stuff (some through osmosis in pop culture), etc. makes sense when stepping back a bit. but some of these do happen to be from the people based on whom we train everything, and it is interesting when they get in the crossfire from the content perfumer. also, how come jetbrain mono has become one of these tells is insane to me!
